I have been a fan of this show, along with some other very intelligent friends, from the first. Yes, it can be a bit silly at times, but I have known people like the characters. I grew up as the neighborhood geek girl. I had the chemistry sets, a microscope, a weather station, and I wanted to build a lab in the back yard where I could do serious experiments. One summer was spent exhuming what I thought, at first, was the skeleton of a small dinosaur. It turned out to be the skeleton of a dog. Later, I would take apart radios, and such, and wire things up to see if I could get them to work. One of the neighborhood's less bright boys asked me what science was good for. I proceeded to point out everything that he had that was made through science. He never asked a dumb question like that again.
Now, I am older, but I still keep up with a lot of things, like physics, programming, and such. This show has been very entertaining, and I am rather bemused by those who have decided to hate on it, mainly because someone has told them they should.
